This blog is amazing. I currently find myself in some sort of a conflict with management over the classic "new-features vs make the thing stable" situation. Management openly admits to valuing tech debt repayment, reliability etc. but I can clearly tell that it is not what is actually valued. And why shouldn't I just skip code reviews, skip analyzing failure scenarios. Just churn out new shit at an "amazing pace" with little regard to fulfilling the harder part of the target objectives of the system. http://yosefk.com/blog/people-can-read-their-managers-mind.html http://yosefk.com/blog/people-can-read-their-managers-mind.h... We'll try to fix it when shit actually hits the fan, when the harder to achieve properties of the system are considered urgent again :) (Just to make it clear: I am not working on medical devices or power plants or anything of this sort).
